FAQ
Generally, 1031 exchanges are beneficial for most investors. However, if you fall into one of the following archetypes, a 1031 exchange could be an excellent fit for you. Considering the potential deferral of capital gains taxes until the sale of a newly acquired property, 1031 exchanges are worth exploring.
Section 1031(f) provides that if a Taxpayer exchanges with a related party then the party who acquired the property in the exchange must hold it for 2 years or the exchange will be disallowed.
The two most common situations we encounter that are ineligible for exchange are the sale of a primary residence and “flippers.” Both are excluded for the same reason: In order to be eligible for a 1031 exchange, the relinquished property must have been held for productivity in a trade or business or for investment.
An IRC Section 1031 Exchange (“Exchange”) is a tax benefit that allows investors to defer the capital gains tax normally due on the sale of investment real estate or real estate held for productive use in a trade or business (sometimes as much as a 35% combined rate – state and federal).
How to Do a 1031 Exchange Choose a qualified intermediary to coordinate the exchange. Sell your current real estate property. You have 45 days to identify potential replacement properties. You have 180 days to close on a replacement property. File IRS Form 8824.
Unlike with a 1031 exchange, another benefit to a QOF is that, long or short-term, you can invest capital gains realized from any type of capital asset sale, into a QOF, i.e., capital gains from the sale of stock.
Lack of Liquidity- Exchanging properties continually can tie up funds in real estate, making it hard for an investor to access liquid capital if required. While real estate can be a profitable investment, it's not as liquid as some other assets.
